The Symbolism of Water Many works of literature use symbols to represent abstract ideas. One symbol that is commonly used is water. Water is a viable symbol because it is versatile. It can be used to represent many different ideals because water in itself is ever changing.
any milk or milk by-products, such as cheeses, ice cream, butter, etc is considered dairy. Soy milk is okay, as is rice milk. Eggs are considered dairy, but as they don't come from a cow, I am not sure that would be included in your excluding dairy--same goes for goat's milk and it's by-products.
Cheeses such as cottage cheese, cheddar cheese or other varieties of cheese are created by adding rennet, an enzyme, to milk to form curds. Ice cream, milk-based products such as pudding and frozen yogurt count as dairy products. Foods classified by the USDA as dairy products supply calcium to the diet.
